[The agenda for this Public Input Meeting has been added to our Calendar; Monday, May 17]
By: Maria Moore
The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) is scheduling a Public Input Forum on its draft zoning regulations on Wednesday, May 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the Senior Center at Town Hall. Since last year Commission members have been working on revising the regulations and they are now nearing the end of the process. After public input is received, final revisions will be made and the new zoning regulations will come into effect.
Residents are being invited to the public forum to give their input on the revised regulations. “This is really not a session for people to get involved in lots of questions and answers.” Rista Malanca, Interim Zoning Officer said, adding: “It’s really an opportunity for residents to give the commissioners their input or requests.” Rista recommended that residents come with written input which they can submit to the Commission at the Public Input Forum, in addition to giving their verbal input.
The revised zoning regulations are available online on the Planning and Zoning section of the town website; the zoning regulations are posted in their entirety and also individually by article. Residents may also obtain a paper copy of the draft zoning regulations by contacting Rista Malanca in the Land Use office at 860-379-7677. There is a $10 charge for the paper copy.
If you have any questions regarding this upcoming Public Input Forum or about the town’s zoning regulations, please call Rista Malanca at 860-379-7677, or email Rista at RMalanca@town.new-hartford.ct.us
